Ingredients

48 servings

•

4 cups tapioca starch (such as Bob's Red Mill®)
•

1 cup water
•

½ cup vegetable oil
•

1 ½ tablespoons salt

•

1 ¼ cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
•

3 eggs
•

2 teaspoons water, or as needed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Pour tapioca starch into a wide bowl.
Combine 1 cup water, vegetable oil, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Slowly pour over the tapioca, mixing with a spoon until evenly combined. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
Stir Mexican cheese blend and eggs into the tapioca mixture. Knead dough until soft and sticky, 5 to 10 minutes. Add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if dough seems dry.
Drop spoonfuls of dough 1 inch apart on the baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 25 minutes.
